It’s an undeniable fact: the human race has never been so connected. Want to get in touch with someone? The main hurdle is picking from the veritable smorgasbord of communication tools at your disposal: Will you use Instagram, X or TikTok DM; text; Facebook Instant Messenger; WhatsApp; FaceTime; email; Snapchat; Zoom; Microsoft Teams; Google Meet; Slack? Or, if you want to go really old school, you could (gasp) call them on the phone. Decisions, decisions!
And yet, despite this ability to contact anyone we’ve ever met in less time than it takes to make a Pot Noodle, friendships seem to be on the wane.
